The Killing of Sister George(1968)

The story of three consenting adults in the privacy of their own home.

The Killing of Sister George is a 1968 drama centered on June Buckridge, a London-based actress whose character—a beloved nurse named Sister George—is being written out of a popular BBC daytime serial. When June announces the news to her long-time lover and flatmate Alice "Childie" McNaught, their comfortable domestic life begins to unravel. Complications deepen when Mercy Croft, the widowed BBC executive who made the decision to kill off the character, pursues Childie with predatory intent. As June's career crumbles and her relationship faces strain, the film explores themes of power, desire, and loss within a complex love triangle. Based on Frank Marcus's stage play, the film captures the emotional turbulence of its characters with unflinching honesty and dark humor.
